Jobs: Do You Want Mass Transit More Than a Job, a House, or Affordable Food?

This ws the propaganda AP/Yahoo "News" headline this morning: "Recession hits transit budgets, despite rising need."


Pbvopis [rp[agamda fpr tje Obama message that we must 'invet" in "infrastructure". In fact, the body of the article uses that disgraceful word "invet"--meaning SPEND The article furtehr sid that "U.S. citizens must find a way to invest in transit."


Propaganda, but STUPID propaganda. How many people do you know who think the most pressing issue facing this country is MASS TRANSIT? No, it gets oworse if you inserft "high speed rail". With big cities declining because of fiscal irrelsponsibility and urban decay, we are actully becoming more of a DECENTRALIZED country. If you move close to your jo, you don't "need" mass transit. Can't afford to move close to your job, because your job is in a city where housing is too expensive, or you just can't afford to move? then get another job. Oops!!! I forgot. Obama is President. You may not have that alternative. But the idea that this country has a "rising need" for more and more mass transit spending is abusurd. What we NEED is "thinking outside of the box" so that we can avoid these inefficient, big PORK projects. We need to figure out how to actuallyl LIEV WITIN OUR MEANS (which Obama keeps quoting, without meaning it). Would you prefer to save Medicare or spend more on mass transist?


Nope. What the AP propaganda is really trying to do is say that the Federal Government needs to BAIL OUT local and state governments on transportation. Say what? The people now understand that the Federal Government is BROKEjust as broke, if not more so, as the states. Thus, the old shell game does not work any more. The people who pay for state and local transportation projects and maintenance are the SAME people who fund the Federal Government. If those people realize that they cannot afford massive mass transit spending on a local level, how can we afford it non a national level (when we are already borrowing 40 cents out of every Federal dollar we spend)?


The old shell gavem in case you do not know, is that gavme wlhich grew the Federal Government to its lpresent bloated state. If aproject or lprogram is not cost effective or affordable for a STATE or LOCAL GOVERNMENT, why is it fine for the Federal Government (the most remote from the people, and least efficient). Come on You know the answer to this one!!! It is because Federal money is FREE. You are right. It is not really"free", but that has been the attitude. That is why I call it the old shell game. The idea is to HIDE THE MONEY. Federal money is like monopoly money--not ral to the public. Therefore, even though the same people have to pay for Federal projects and programs that would have to pay for them if lthey were done on a state level--just with an inefficient, fraud encouraging routing through a Washington bureaucracy--no one is suppoed to realize that the Federal Government does not have an infinite supply of money. That is because the Federal Government can run a deficit, and postpone the day of reckoning into the future.


Problem: the people are now realizeing that this is a shell game: that we can't operate this way foever. At some point the bill comes do, and we will not be able to pay it. That is when we collapse, because it will be too late to "fix" things. We will have nothing left with which to "fix" them. If California needs a train, California is rich enough to build a train. But leftist would prefer to route California money through Washington, and then back to California, to CONCEAL what is really going on--to conceal the cost. This is despite the obvious fact that peole in California are the best judges of whether California really needs a train, or whether the money shold better be spent somewhere else. Thise particular DECEPTION, more than any other, explains the extreme growth of the Federal Government.


It seemed like "free money", and the left has lawyas encouraged that thought. But everyone--except the brain dead--now realizes that the money is not free. Ask Greece. And they are also starting to realize that Ayn Rand was right. You cannot make 10% of the country SLAVES to pay for the "good life" for the other 90%. That, too, is a shell game with a known end. The system collapses, as did the Roman Empire when spending went out of control. Even beforfe that, the Roman Republic was detroyed by CLASS STRUGGLE--leading to the Roman Empire, which was successful only because of the benefits Roman armies brought in from the continual conquests. The whole house of cards had to fall, and it did--leading to the Dark Ages of more than a thousand years.


We are heading to our own Dark Ages, if we continue down this path of class struggle and centralized spending without end.


Yes, this article is yet antoher result of my Sodom and Gomorrah search for an honest, competent AP reporter. The earch remains futile, as I continue to find only propaganda. Again, jsut where does the despicable AP think we are going to get money we don ot have? What makes the despicable AP think that we can afford on a BANKRUPT Federal level what we can't afford on a local or state level?


See my previous article, on why Rick Perry can be a very formidable candidate for President. TEXAS can handle its own problems, because Texas is SANE. Why, then, has Texas accepted Federal oney? Your really are stupid, aren't you? It makes no sense at all for Texas to finance CALIFORNIA. I just said we are SANE here in Texas. Of course Texas takes Federal money. Otherwise, the money will go elsewhere, and Texas citizens will be those SLAVES Ayn Rand talks about. It is all part of that massive shell game, but it is time we realized that someone is H:IDING THE PEA. We can't win that game, and it is time we stopped playing.


You still should be very careful about standing next to an AP office, or looking at an AP office if something unusual starts to happen. I have not YET heard it reported that there are all kinds of pillars of salt being found near AP offices--which temselves are disappearing. However, I have been on this search for a honest, competent AP reporter for more than 7 years, and I just can't see how He is gong to have mcuh more patience.
